Whatever else history may say about me when I'm gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears; to your confidence rather than your doubts. My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty's lamp guiding your steps and opportunity's arm steadying your way.

Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.

In Hollywood, as I've often said, if you don't sing or dance, you end up as an after-dinner speaker.

There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.

Americans are hungering to feel proud and patriotic again.

I don't have to tell you how fragile this precious gift of freedom is. Every time we hear, watch, or read the news, we are reminded that liberty is a rare commodity in this world.

I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse.
